Investing For the Inevitable Rainy Day

By Rick Amorey

Thinking of the future is hard, especially when you are constantly bothered by the spending of the past. Why think of putting more money into your savings when you are still constantly reminded of your student loan? How can you think of how you'll spend your retirement years if you have to worry about mortgages today?

In this time and year, even the current events present problems that will make you think twice before investing for the future. What if the total amount you have from ten years of frugality devalues by more than 50% in the stocks in less than a month? With the recession in full swing, this is unfortunately a very likely scenario.

That is why many people live for the moment, rather than think ahead and invest. It is simply easier to think of this month's bills, or this year's financial situation, then think of what may happen in the years or even decades to come. I don't blame them for thinking this way, but I also feel sorry for them because of this oversight.

One of the unfortunate truths of the human condition is the fact that we all get old eventually. And when your body has wrinkled and your vision weaker than it used to be, you just wouldn?t be able to work as efficiently as you did in your younger years. By then, the best course of action would be to rely on your investments.

You will be denied that, however, if all your money is stored in simple savings accounts with almost non-existent interest rates. When investing, think of it as saving up for that rainy day. It may seem like it's so far away, but that doesn't mean that it does not matter right now. So save up, invest, and be prepared. Who knows? If you do it really well, you may capable of retiring earlier than expected. - 23208
